Excellencies,Distinguished Participants,Ladies and Gentlemen,
We have had an excellent discussion on issues related to the implementation of the International Decade of Action “Water for Sustainable Development”, 2018-2028.
This High-level Event offered a great opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of SDG6 and other water-related SDGs and targets and the need for immediate action.
We have discussed the way forward.
We learned that situations are diverse depending on local and country settings and yet we found some commonalities, such as the need for effective measures to address worsening situations due to, among other things, climate change and urbanization.
The Decade will provide the leverage needed to implement and promote water and sanitation related programmes and projects, as well as renewed cooperation and partnership at all levels to help achieve SDG 6 and other water-related targets.
Let us work together with a common sense of urgency and action to energize effective and innovative implementation programmes at national, regional and global levels of the water SDGs.
I thank you all for your active participation and look forward to continuing our dialogue in the future.
